/**
  Provides atomic access in shared-exclusive modes. Shared mode allows for
  several threads to share lock acquisition. Exclusive mode will allow for
  a single thread to acquire the lock.
 
  The implementation also provides re-entrance, meaning that a thread is
  allowed to acquire the lock in the same mode several times without
  blocking. Re-entrance is symmetric, meaning, in the case the lock is
  acquired several times by the same thread, it should be released the same
  amount of times.
 
  Acquisition request priority management is implemented to avoid
  starvation, meaning:
 
  1) When no thread is holding the lock, acquisition is granted to the
     first thread to request it.
 
  2) If the lock is being held in shared mode and an exclusive acquisition
     request is made, no more shared or exclusive acquisition requests are
     granted until the exclusivity request is granted and released.
 
  The acquisition relation given to concurrent requests is as follows:
